Just Thoughts!

For those of you who read my blog on a regular basis, pray for us while we are in China October 1 through the 13th. I won't be blogging while we are gone. I have left a complete itenerary with my daughters. I returned my son-in-law's pocket knife to his wife tonight, met her in Salem for dinner and a quick visit. She gave us each one of her (first) professional business cards. It is hard not to be a little overbearing in our proudful boasts about her pursing her PhD. Not sure I will blog much before leaving for China as Popa and I have lots to get done before we leave. Daughter #3 is taking us to the airport...yeah we get to fly out of Eugene. I need to get in some extra visiting with the two grandsons here in town, we are pretty use to seeing each other everyday. Got a good revelation from my favorite book today....ask me about the "goodness of God"! Hint: it has to do with Moses wanting to see God. God allowed HIS goodness to pass before Moses! God is so awesome! I marvel at HIS great deeds in our lives. I submit to HIS plan when it is different than my own and I allow HIM to restore my soul...to plant new hope within and that causes me to want to see HIS glory. NONA
